Ave María Lyrics
Raphael
Lyrics
Es verdad
que hace tiempo que te tengo en el olvido
que ni rezo, ni me acuerdo
de llevarte rosas rojas al altar.
Es verdad
que tu nombre no lo digo desde niño
pero ahora
yo, yo necesito
que me ayudes
y te olvides lo que he sido.
Ave María
escúchame
Ave María, Ave María
tú sabes
que yo la quiero
y es todo lo que tengo.
Ave María
escúchame
Ave María, Ave María
te pido
que no termine
nuestro amor, (Ave María).
Recordarás
aquellas flores que adornaban tu capilla
eran mías, solo mías
las robaba por las noches para ti.
Recordarás
cuantas veces te he rezado de rodillas
mis amigos, se reían
al mirarme, se reían, se reían.
Ave María
escúchame
Ave María, Ave María
tú sabes
que yo, yo la quiero
y es todo lo que tengo.
Ave María
escúchame
Ave María, Ave María
te pido
que no termine
nuestro amor, nuestro amor, (Ave María)
nuestro amor, (Ave María), (Ave María).
